Great drawers that hold a lotI got a custom Elfa drawer combo rather than the standard drawers shown here, but it only differs from this one slightly. I LOVE it! I could customize it to the space I have and it really holds a lot; in fact I have even more storage space in it now than I actually need. Really tidied up my office space.

Hold so much...love it!These drawers slide in and out so smoothly! I wear size small and I could make 2 rows of shirts in the deep drawer. I wanted a top for a flat surface to fold my clothes on but still be able to see through so I got the smoke solid drawer lid and they work...not a perfect fit but good enough.

Love itI purchased this unit for my small business that shares a space in my walk in closet. I'm definitely ordering at least 3 more to use for business and 1-2 for my daughters bedroom. I ordered white....very clean look.
I purchased a rubber mallet but it wasn't working........so I used an old rag (it will put a hole in whatever you use) and a hammer. I finished my setup process a lot faster an when I used the mallet. I would recommend to a friend. Try to purchase during the aunnal elfa sale but if not it's still worth it!

Best Tool For OrganizationThe elfa start-a-stack is the perfect tool for additional drawer space. It is small enough to not clutter a room and it provides a great amount of drawers and enough space inside to fit anything you need! I use mine in my college dorm room to provide extra drawer space for my clothing and towels. It has been a life saver! Especially since the university doesn't provide a lot of drawers for students. It is also small and doesn't take up a lot of space which is great for a small area like a dorm room. Best purchase I've ever made!

Love these!!I initially bought two of these to use in our closet and, upon assembling them, saw you could stack them. So I stacked them and right away ordered two more for the other side of our closet. They work great for underclothes, pajamas purses, etc. Definitely recommend!

Great organizer!I purchased this to organize a tangle of odds and ends underneath a staircase closet. It is at an odd angle, but was able to customize the fit with the various dimensions available in the elfa system. I had duffel bags, snorkel equipment, sewing fabric all piled atop each other. I ordered this elfa system: two 2 runner drawers, two 3 runner drawers and the top. Fantastic! the drawers are nice and deep; everything fit very nicely. I purchased the labels. Very organized. Love elfa!

FantasticI bought these to help organize our master closet. Wish I had purchased years ago! They assembled easily, are sturdy, and hold a TON of clothes. After this experience I will be adding elfa to my cabinets, pantry, and many of our other closets.

elfa stacked drawers did the job!I used four of these in my office closet along with other elfa shelves and products. It is so nice to go into the closet to get something and not have to move several items to get to the one I need. I can't wait to create more unique storage spaces with elfa in my home.

Great Storage Solutions!I have 2 of these in different sizes and wish I had a couple more. They are incredibly sturdy, come in a variety of sizes to fit any space, and they really are everything all the reviews say they are and more. Easy to put together (don't be intimidated, it's not as hard as it looks# and you can get different size baskets to fit your needs. Wouldn't recommend getting the short baskets unless you have a specific idea in mind for using them #works good for scarves) because they really aren't tall enough for many uses. One hint--make sure you use the back stops because otherwise when you shut the basket, it goes flying out the back side. I recommend getting the top for it as well so that you actually have a table top to use and it can withstand a lot of weight. Wheels are great on these and it rolls easily. Worth the money,and if you get it on sale, it's even better!

great optionMy walk-in closet is pretty basic- couple of bars for hanging clothes and a shelf above them. However I needed a drawer option to store work-out clothes and utilize the space beneath my shorter hanging stuff. I shopped around and found other options not as nice, but still pretty pricey (for what I'd expect to pay#. I got this on sale and it fits the bill perfectly. It was easy for my husband to put together #although he is pretty handy, but I could have done it myself if I had to). The drawers slide well and I appreciate the draw stays so I'm not accidentally yanking the drawers out. Feels like a high quality product. I like the mesh to let the clothes breath, but nice enough that things won't get snagged. Highly recommend.

Unique use of old technology storage spaceMy husband surprised me by placing a stack of Elfa mesh drawers in my desk cabinet where the tower of my old computer used to be stored. Now I can use the pullout keyboard tray for my laptop computer and still have access to all my middle drawer desk supplies (the keyboard tray blocks this drawer when it is out) while working on my laptop! :-)

My closetThe previous drawers in my closet were extremely difficult to operate. My husband surprised me by replacing them all with your easy to construct mesh drawers. I now have a totally complete Elfa closet that is the envy of all my friends. I would highly recommend Elfa to everyone.

Nice !This is the second stacking shelf unit I have purchased made by ELFA. It is well designed. It looks great too. I just wish that the little white pegs were more substantial. They have a habit of getting lost over time.

awesome product!I moved into a new house in Aug and for months have been trying to find a solution to my pantry. The 4 shelves were too deep and difficult to see what I had in them. I called Shelf Genie to come in and put in sliding shelves but they were going to charge me almost $2000 for 5 shelves. I could not justify the cost so I kept looking. But I did not want to put bottom mount sliding shelves on the already warping shelves in my pantry and I could not find the right size side mount shelves. Then on a whim I decided to see what I could find at container store and the mesh start a stack shelves were perfect! I love the ways these shelves fit. They are nearly impossible to tip over and they are very sturdy. One drawer is even full of cans and it holds them just fine. This $180 unit saved me a ton of money and I’m really happy with it.

Pantry SolutionWe ended our pantry nightmare by adding two stacked sets of the Platinum elfa Mesh drawers to our pantry. Because our pantry has a bi fold door, we were unable to store items and have access to them on either side of the pantry.
We were able to put a set of the drawers on each side of the pantry under the original shelving which allows us to pull out the drawers giving us access to our stored items. This also gave us more room on the original pantry shelves to store more items.

Nice addition to my elfa closetBought this item to go inside a reach in closet fitted with ELFA closet design. Of course it fits perfectly ( i made sure when measuring) but I was more than pleasantly surprised at how much it held. I attached the melamine top which allows me to stack things on top of my stack. Very good addition, may get another one.

Love This for My OfficeWhile there are shorter "stacks" available, and one in particular for office, this one was best for me! We added a table and wheels and I have it on my left side to use so I can just grab what I need when I need it. The table allows me to put the items I need to work on right there. Did I mention that I LOVE this item?

Just what I needed!We just moved into a home where the previous owner had installed shelving around the top perimeter of the two walk-in closets in the master bdrm. However, nothing was installed on the bottom portion of the closets leaving a great deal of waisted space. Working on a limited budget, we purchased several start-a-stack units to fill in the space and they are just what we needed! We are now able to accommodate sweaters and knit/jersey tops, leaving more hanging space available for our other clothing items. We also found installing the draws "in/out stops" kept us from pulling out the draws too far, preventing the contents from spilling out onto the floor. My husband chose the platinum mesh frame with walnut top shelves giving his room a sleek masculine look. I chose the white mesh frame with the white top, and love how it coordinates with the already installed shelving. Having just purchased our home, we were on a very tight budget. The sales associate's recommendation to purchase several start-a-stacks and stacking them was very helpful in keeping us within our budget. We would definitely recommend the start-a-stack for durability, versatility, esthetics, and price point!

Perfect SolutionI recently converted a small closet to a dry bar. After installing the countertop and mini-fridge underneath, I had a small space that needed something?? The stack shelf with rolling castors fit perfect and now holds extra glasses, ice bucket, cocktail napkins, and more. I'm very pleased.

Community Q&A

Are there melamine tops that will sit across 3 of these drawers to create a workbench and drawer system?

Three wide stacking drawers (@22&quot; each or 66&quot; total bench length) (and 29&quot; tall).
Looking for a bench top to sit across all three stacking drawers. Is there such a product beyond the desk tops, which at 54&quot; are too short for the bench I need to build.

Asked by: matthewgalik

Melamine Tops are available for single elfa Start-A-Stacks. The Melamine Tops fit each unit flush for a virtually seamless appearance. Use our elfa Frame Clips to complete the look.
